Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a type of triple repeat disorder that is prevalent in both males and females. FXS is inherited and causes the person to have an intellectual disability (Batshaw, Roizen, & Lotrecchiano, 2013). References Batshaw, M.L., Roizen, N.J., & Lotrecchiano, G.R. (2013).

diagnostically could overlap, making it at times, difficult to distinguish the two disorders (e.g. impulsivity, frequent outburst, lack of self-control of emotions and behaviors). An indicator to distinguish the two disorders is to focus/assess reasoning, how, and why behaviors are occurring; furthermore, a therapist could examine the source of the behaviors/symptoms. A child diagnosed with ODD, while only showing symptoms at school, makes me question the possibility that it could actually be…

A key aspect in the engagement process when the worker and clients are working together is the holding environment. The holding environment developed by Donald Winnicott, “describes the therapeutic process … of the mother-child relationship in infancy,” that is shows “context of psychotherapeutic treatment” (as cited in Babits, 2001).

Attending the 45th Annual Meta M. Downes Speech-Language and Hearing Symposium was very beneficial to my future career as a Speech Language Pathologist. The information retained from the symposium allowed me to connect that knowledge to current courses in my undergraduate major. For example, Dr. Ellis presentation on Aphasia Prognosis, Recovery Patterns and Outcomes correlated with the information that I am currently learning in Neuroscience course. Additionally, Dr. Clark presentation about…

Scientists believe that this occurs because the cerebellum signals the “body to automatically freeze” when danger is perceived (Bergland, 2014, p.1). Both behavioral reactions can also cause some of the physiological changes the person feels. For example, their heart rate can increase from running away from danger or their palms can get sweaty from thinking of something negative occurring. Furthermore, if the feeling of fear persists for a long time, it can start affecting how the individual…

understanding of others behavior. This deficiency results from an inability to sufficiently interpret, consider or respond to the emotional and social signals of others conveying through, eye contact and facial expressions. In general, such deficiencies in non-verbal communication skills are pertained to as a lack of ‘‘theory of mind’’ Implying a limited capacity to pay attention to, and understand the feelings, plans and purposes of others (Sowa & Meulenbroek, 2012) Social behavior and emotions…

literature is the differentiation of trust from its antecedents. Jones and Shah [9] further refine the concept of trust by differentiating trust actions, trust beliefs, and trust intentions. Trust actions are the behaviors one performs when trusting; in other words, trust actions are the behaviors that make oneself vulnerable…

worried if I don't change this behaviour now that they may not want to ask me questions in the future and I do not want that to happen. I want to be the one they can come to when they need advice and they know that someone is their to listen and support them. So, I have decided to spend half an hour a night per girl, I am hoping this helps change my behaviour and also let them know that I am here to listen and…

includes the task list items I-01: Define behavior in observable and measurable terms, and I-06: Make recommendations regarding behaviors that must be established, maintained, increased, or decreased (Behavior Analyst Certification Board, 2012). My submission for this content area is the Behavior Change assignment from SPE 565, which demonstrates how to define behaviors and make recommendations for behavior reduction, as well as the replacement behavior. The participant in this artifact had…
